@shri-thanks!
@deepak- well so far it seems easy, they are all growing even few weeds here and there which i have to remove. also i have to make a water drain for excess water.
UPDATE:
added some indian water ferns given to me by Nidhi
barbula indica has gone dormant because of the temperature change 
a busy spider has laid eggs into the substrate inbetween the star moss, which destroyed a small patch of it, i had to manually remove the eggs and i covered that spot with lyellia sp.
also found a caterpiller (removed) |

thanks sanjay, rahul, sunny!
@ruchit- up till i haven't had much difficulty keeping it. these bryophytes are very hardy, they grow slow in captive so one needs patience for growing them.
other than that the set up is pretty easy- 1cm red soil, 1 inch coco peat and the the plants. i spray water everyday and cover the top, air tight, sunlight. |

Hi Navneeth, thats an awe-inspiring terrarium. 
I'm planning a 640 liter paludarium
I just want to ask if there is any condensation on the glass, blocking the view  |

Yes there is a condensation which comes on the glass at times but I don't Care about it because there's no fauna in it.
A paladrium was my next thought but I lost interest in making it, I'm looking forward to the paladrium you make. All the best. |
